Are you sure it's the wrapper and not the autoloading?  It's pretty
common for the first run of an autoloaded function to be slower than
subsequent runs.

It temporarily alters FPATH when invoking an autoloaded function so
that the function is found in / loaded from a particular location.

Other than the normal autoloading stuff, nothing I can think of.  Is
the value of FPATH becoming especially large?  Could the slowdown be
external to zsh, e.g., opening/reading of directories in the fpath
search slower?
